Hello ccseven7: Welcome to NeuroTalk!
I trust you will find the time you spend here to be of benefit.
Actually what you are referring to is something that is typically referred to as "pure O" (OCD). Here's a link to a YouTube video by California family therapist Kati Morton where Kati talks about pure O:

Also... there is a Buddhist technique I'm fond of which may be of some help in dealing with these experiences. It's referred to as "compassionate abiding". Here's a link to a mental-health-oriented description of the practice:

I hope you find it to be of benefit.
